Description

THE LAND A truly special opportunity to acquire a well situated parcel of amenity land extending to approximately 4.25 acres (1.72 hectares), enjoying an elevated position with breathtaking, far-reaching views across the rolling Devon countryside.

Set on the fringes of Ashburton, this gently sloping paddock offers a rare combination of accessibility and outstanding natural beauty, bordered by established hedgerows and woodland which create both shelter and a strong sense of enclosure.

Accessed via a shared private track, the land leads to a traditional five-bar gate, opening into the pasture land.

A timber stable block is situated to the far boundary with storage as well as a further structure located to the lower boundary hedge. They offer useful options for stabling, storage or general amenity purposes.

The land itself is well suited to a variety of lifestyle uses, whether for equestrian interests, smallholding, recreational enjoyment or conservation, subject to any necessary consents.

This is a rare chance to secure a manageable yet highly impressive block of land in a sought-after and accessible Dartmoor fringe location - ideal for those looking to invest in lifestyle, space and uninterrupted views.
